Only in Shposhae you had to kill specific mobs for NM pop

For every other NM it was a fixed spawn time (around 10 minutes after last kill), daytime specific (Uraeus only during night) or weather specific (Dodore only during Gloom weather).

And this was only with Mooshorn (in a group of Billy Goats and Nany Goats like in his FATE now) and the Goblin NM.
Every other NM standed alone around. And there was no Bat NM

If it have to be like in 1.0, the NM should drop mats that you can use to craft NM gear ^^

Free NM would be the same. Only way to make them not like FATE or Hunt is to do them within the treasure chest system or the leve system, where the party get their private NM outside of the normal claim system.
